IMPORTANT

This is a professional template, not a project-approved risk assessment. It must be reviewed, completed and adapted for the specific project, water source and quality, storage capacity, pumping arrangements, pipe materials, system pressures, drainage and discharge arrangements, excavation conditions, environmental constraints, workforce exposure, applicable legislation, standards and client requirements before use.

Every hazard, control measure and risk rating must be reviewed and approved by appropriately competent and authorised civil, mechanical, water-hygiene, environmental and HSE personnel.
